As part of the new budget, Gov. Jerry Brown appears ready to sign a bill that would effectively eliminate the state's public records act. The bill would make it nearly impossible for new organizations -- like NBC Bay Area -- to uncover corruption and other crimes by public agencies.

NBC Bay Area spoke to two groups -- teenagers who want to be journalists, and teenagers who wants to be able to tell the difference between good journalism and bad journalism -- to get their thoughts on the proposed bill. View what they had to say in Damian Trujillo's report in the video above.
